Flawed bottle (purchase late Feb 16, delivered late Sep 16, opened today). On visual inspection (removing foil) we saw signs of previous seepage. We cleaned it carefully for few minutes, set the bottle in an angle and opened up. Cork had seepage signs and holes inside. fell apart in the middle, and the last part of the cork fell bottom neck (pulled with a chopstick back up). We decided to check the wine after short decanting (on PnP it tasted flawed). Well, no change-short or two hours post decanting. On palate the taste suggests it was subject to poor storage conditions, most likely heat. Metalic notes on palate. Too bad to See an Amarone goes aside for poor storage/sourcing. :-( È la vita

Nose of chocolate covered raisins and Tootsie Roll. Thinner than I expected. Not much after mid palate. Did not improve after 30 minutes.

Strong scent of ripe plums, melted with softly spicy notes, in the mouth it is full, warm and velvety.
